I gotta say, I’ve been pretty stoked for Slow Southern Steel ever since I first heard of the concept a couple years back. A documentary on the southern sludge scene starring Kylesa, Eyehategod, Sourvein, Zoroaster, Dixie Witch and Weedeater, to name but a few, directed by CT from Rwake, sure sounds like it’s right up my alley. And now that the film’s finally ready for release, they’re taking the show on the road, with screenings in 19 US cities opening for Zoroaster and sludge supergroup Hail! Hornet (feat. Dixie Dave, T.Roy et al). To say that I’m awfully tempted would be an understatement…

Mark Reale of Riot passed away on January 25th. We will have a review of their January 20th show on Friday on the site, but here are some video clips in Mark’s honour in the meantime.

Mind you, there’s really no comparison between the ElMo and this hole in the wall, for better or for worse.

Tickets are now on sale online for the RAFFLE OF DOOM, running up till the end of March. You won’t get this kinda haul from your local record store, that’s for sure. Here, see for yourself…

Early this morning I got an email from Sal Abruscato, frontman of A Pale Horse Named Death (as well as the drummer for Life Of Agony and the original timekeeper from Type O Negative) offering a full stream of their show yesterday, January 6th, at the Knitting Factory in New York City. So, without further adieu, here is said show for your viewing pleasure.

I suppose now would be a good time for a quick introduction then, wouldn’t it? I’m Jason Wellwood, aka ‘The Witchfinder General’ if you tune in to my radio shows on CILU in Thunder Bay, which also happens to be the …
